One thought on “An Awesome MSM Clip on Iran”

  2. Typical warmonger- ignoring reality when there's so much hay to be made over standard international belligerent statements. I'm sure our boys wrote "Death to Iraq" on some of their bombs and missiles; I know the Israelis let school children write such things on artillery shells being prepped for Lebanon a few years back. Everybody does it in wartime, or as a chest-thumping exercise when the cameras are snapping. If this Neo Clown would think with any sort of rational thought he'd see right off he was about to get PWNT badly and he'd shut his mouth.

  3. It seems as though the stupid Fox-style hectoring anchors are taking over the whole MSM now, and they can even make a crazy neocon look good. This isn't awesome at all. It's just another stupid show. Glenn Greenwald would do well to address these yelling anchors if he doesn't want to get polluted himself.

  4. Fun to watch, perhaps – effective? Probably not.

    I was turned off by the host not allowing May finish a sentence. I am a huge Glenn Greenwald fan and I have every faith in him that he could have held his own without the host being so heavy handed.

    It would be better to have a more level headed anchor moderate (and fact check) this kind of debate.

    1. I'm with you on this. Dylan did not do anti-war people any favor in this clip. He should have let Glenn take on May alone.

    2. You didn't like the host not allowing free flow for May's lies? What does that tell us about you? Are you part of the liberal media?

      1. I didn't say that the host should have given him a free pass, but Ratigan talked more than May did and it made it seem like he just didn't want to listen to what May had to say. He wasn't correcting May's factual errors, he was just steamrolling May with his own points. Greenwald didn't get to say a whole lot either – and it was obvious that he didn't completely agree with Ratigan's central tenant. This host took an interview/debate that could have been very valuable to the discussion (and really let the anti-war movement shine) and flushed it down the drain for his own ego.

        Is Ratigan a host trying to enlighten his audience or is he a superficial pundit that is simply trying to dress up his editorial by having "experts" show up and "say things" while he overrides whatever they say with his own opinion?

  5. I am so upset, and tired, of the endless repetition of the "Iran wants to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth", or however it is stated by whichever bomb-Iran-now-monger states it. A mistranslation that pleases the warmongers, repeated and repeated.

    And "Death to America" written on missiles? As mentioned by a previous commenter, such things are said about your so-called enemies. And Iran should damn well think of the US as an enemy, whether speaking of the overthrow of their elected government in the 1950s, or the threats of bombing them in the present, perhaps with nuclear weapons.

    The US has been nothing but aggressive towards the Iranian government since the 1979 revolution, and, in essence, their people, by continuing such threats and sanctions which hurt — guess who? — the Iranian people. And the end result, if the desires of Mr. May and the rest of them are established, is the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iranians, Americans, and who knows who else.

  6. 下面给大家几种在龙之谷里赚钱的好方法
    噢　　
    　　1：币，就看你去不去做。
    　　
    　　还有就是每一次开新装备会有一次赚钱的机会，像快开狗本的那一段时间，我果断的以60Y一个收了各种中级宝石40多组，现在都以2金左右卖出，但是现在我不建议大家囤积中级玛瑙，虽然说开40级中级玛瑙又会火一阵子，但是你也要知道，以后开的副本和分解那些高等级装备能获得更多的中级玛瑙，所以它的涨以买的到的，而且很多人找你买的都是封印、放大镜之类的东西（980点券，你又赚了20点），所以跌不可预料，如果你胆子大也是可以博一下。
    　　
    　　精巧的中级月光和阳光也一样，不用囤积，32A出的越多，分解的人也就越多。
    　　
    　　2：做差价帝，这个跟守住交易所差不多，但是更练的是眼力和嘴皮http://www.ailzg.com子卖的便宜的时候，果断在交易所以及仓库边喊话收各种石头，这个时候只要敢喊出够低的价格，　　
    　　有人给你担保，这个生意是源源不断的，能力，每天在刷狗本人最多的时候多留意普通频道喊话，只要有人在卖装备，就想方设法的以低价买进（不要一味的去想赚太多，只要是有市场的东西，便宜50金就够用！）。越值钱越有市场的东西，你能讲下来的价格也就越多，赚的也就越多（本人就曾经在破坏A剑少的时候以950金买进一把，1350金卖出）。
    　　
    　　3：做点卡帝，举个我们区的例子，我们区现在5173上的比例是1：7，但是在游戏中基本都是1：8.5的在点券换金币！～这个是最赚钱的，甚至你一天可以有几百块RMB的收入！
    　　
    　　你要知道，5173上100块钱收700金那是真真实实的100块，但是游戏中那1万的点券其实是87块不到就可这个利润有多大家算算就知道了。

    你会发现照样有人会卖给你～ 到了有老板强化装备的时候果断的摆上交易所以高价卖出（老板的需求量基本为一页到一页半）做机遇帝，套一句交易所大叔的话“只有努力的人才会成为有钱人”，每个服的各种中级石头在一天当中都会有一很大的幅度，掌握好这几规律，在交易所并且只要出新时装，改技能，你就就发一笔横财！～只要你在大公会，游戏中的人往往不那么看重那几个金，我在这里建议大家摆交易所的方法是，如果最便宜的那个是单价2金一个的一组中级石头，你摆10—15个单价为2金30银，相信我你会以这个价格卖出的！
    　　
    　　再有就是守住交易所，只要你认为这件你能一次收到2件以上（以我为例，我就在交易所以330金和350金收过两个巨熊链子，明显摆330金的根本不懂价格）。装备能比它现在能多卖50金以上就买下（不要嫌赚的少，比你打到铁臂的XXX要好的多），守交易所更大的好处是，会有不懂价的人摆东西，运气好

  8. They talk about the Saudi-US relationshiop and the Israeli-Arab relationship…. WHAT ABOUT THE ISRAELI-AMERICAN RELATIONSHIP?!?

  9. Hard to cover everything, but I would have liked the idea of sanctions discussed more. Not letting goods into a country is an attack on the people (I'm admittedly not knowledgeable about what types of goods and how we are blocking them). How effectively do sanctions hurt the government? Look at how effective they were in Iraq. I hardly think sanctions are this lovey dovey act of diplomacy. Otherwise great clip!

  11. With these blustering rants, Ratigan does more to enable and empower the May crowd than Fox ever could.

  12. I am surprised that the anti-war debater and the moderator both let pass so many untrue statements. It is not true that Iran is supplying the Taliban. It is true that Iran is anti-Taliban and was initially one of the allies in over-throwing the Taliban. It is not true that Iran has pledged to wipe Israel off the map. But it is true that many in the Bush and Obama administrations have said "all options are on the table", which is a threat to wipe Iran off the map using nuclear weapons. Incidentally, the UN Charter, which the USA wrote and passed as a treaty, making it Constitutionally the "highest law of the land", forbids member nations to threaten war against other nations.

  13. Mad props to Mr. Ratigan. Sorry, but you don't bring a knife to a gunfight. He uses the tools that folks like Vannity and O'Reilly have successfully employed for years, except he is using them in the defense of a rational foreign policy. He directly challenges the notion that being against these counterproductive wars is unpatriotic, and then goes one better by saying this is indeed what real patriotism looks like. Like Greenwald himself wrote in his blog, Dylan is saying things that you just don't hear from any other host on on any other mainstream channel.

    Peace be with you.

  14. I am getting sick of pundits and even the well educated journalists claiming or agreeing with the notion that the President of Iran said HE or IRAN wanted or had a desire to wipe Israel off the map. That is Neocon propoganda. His actual words were something to the effect that the Zionist regisime, by way of their beligerent actions, would wipe themselves off the face of history. Context is everything.

    Everyone also seems to forget that the first CIA led coup to overthrow a foreign leader was when the CIA overthrew the President of Iran in 1953 because he took back the oil fields from foreign own firms and nationalized them. The U.S. and Brittain were the agressors then. Now it is the U.S. and Israel that is the terror of the region.

  15. To me it looked more Saudi bashing than anti-war. These neocons will be quite happy to attack Saudi Arabia as well, so there was no point in talking about that. The anchor essentially said — OK Iran is bad but Saudi Arabia is bad too. To which the war-monger replied Yes we will deal with both in due time. Who won? You be the judge.

  16. One point to hammer home with these people: the warmongering jackass is Al Queda's best ally. Clifford May is blinded by imperial arrogance, and cannot see that he and his lot are in effect acting as Bin Laden's agents in the US. Luring the US into wars against their enemies (Saddam, the Taliban, the Iranian Mullahs) and bleeding the country dry is Al Queda's expressed purpose. Allies such as May are weakening the country, undermining the constitution and eroding our liberties, strengthening jihadism, exponentially increasing anger and righteous hatred against the murderous American crusaders who kick down doors, torture and slaughter civilians, empower corrupt local leaders and suppress indigenous resistance with ghoulish death squads. That is the face of Clifford May's America.

    1. Cliff May's organization is funded by Israelis who use the tax dollars taken from US citizens for the purpose of distributing Israel propaganda. U.S. citizens should not be taxed to have Israel's propaganda reguritated back to them.

  18. I'm very interested in how we will 'deal with Saudi Arabia in due time'. The only card we really have to play is nuking Makkah and I guarantee you a threat against Makkah will make any Holocaust look like child's play when the entire- and I mean ENTIRE- Muslim world drops everything it's doing and turns it's sights on whoever makes the threat- US, Israel, Monaco- whoever. Other than that, what are we gong to do? Sanction them? Stop our tourists from going there? Freeze their assets? Okay, fine, but I bet they're smart enough to see all of that coming and will divest themselves of US holdings so fast it will make the economy spin, and not for the better. As for the rest of this sorry exchange, I do think May got PWNT pretty badly at the hosts' hands, but I too would have rather seen him given enough rope to hang himself with each statement, instead of being cut off each time.

    1. Yeah, the "deal with Saudi Arabia in due time" comment was one of the weirdest things I've ever heard said. Something is really disturbing about the fact that May can condemn Iran for making hyperbolic statements that may or may not amount to "Death to America" and insinuate the right to "deal with" (read punish like an insolent child) Saudi Arabia and Iran in a single breath.

  19. I agree with other commenters that Dylan Ratigan doesn't do many favors for anti-neocon/anti-war folks here. He allowed the segment to degenerate into a shoutfest. And what's with all this highlighting the very real oppressive features of the Saudi regime??? The neocons will be more than happy to march other people's kids there, too.

    As for the tired old trope that Ahmidinejad once threatened to "wipe Israel off the map," here's an educated person on how his statement actually translated from the original Farsi, and how the Western media shills totally distorted the real meaning of what he actually said:

  20. By Way of Deception, We Shall do War http://beforeitsnews.com/story/178/722/By_Way_of_…
    My take on this,the USA/UK/Canada's media packaged their news cast with lies and got USA into two needless invasions. After nine years of 9/11 pathological media lying, notice turncoats are appearing.
    Now after the damage to usa has been exposed and a revolution is brewing–the media is starting to go after Israel Firsters.
    Has anyone noticed that many zionists are sporting unshaven facial growth to appear tough :^/

  23. And to DEUS X. NIHILO , I see you too have been duped , again by your own laziness , there was no MISTRANSLATION of FARSI . In fact the statement was made SEVERAL times , in unmistakable contexts . . Obviously you share an anti-Israel bias , which is your right , however , there's no need to LIE , in order to support your view . Ergo , there's no need toi tell you where you can put your "link " .
    And apparently Mr. A from Iran , is a 9/11 Trufer , a view no doubt inculcated by the many imbeciles we have rightr here in the U.S. , who can only provide "links " to OTHER IMBECILES of like lazy minds .
